Nonstop Suspense!
Rating:
5 / 5
I heard about this book because I had recently started working at the same hospital as the author. I started reading it for that reason only. I was so glad I did. It's been a long, long time since I picked up a book and didn't put it down all day until I was done! Thoroughly enjoyable. Ms. Rose paints a very realistic picture of an everyday woman who is forced to change herself in order to survive. The suspense and turns in the story kept me guessing until the very end. My daughter was home sick from school and asleep the morning I started the book, and the weather was cloudy. I can't remember when I've sat cozily curled up on the sofa, wind blowing outside, so absorbed in a book that I felt a part of it, until the sun went down. Everyone should do that from time to rime. When her next book comes out I'll treat myself again!

In Booker Bend, Oregon, schoolteacher Susan Ryker waits at the airport to give a ride to fellow teacher Casper Rickert when she witnesses a murder. The killer looks right at Susan, knowing she might be able to identify him. He plans to clean up this nuisance later.The FBI and local police interrogate Susan in hopes she will provide a description of the murderer, but she insists she cannot. Susan learned a recent lesson of what happens to a good Samaritan when she gave a statement to the police identifying a thief only have the cop shout out her address. However police officer Gene Udell knows she is hiding something, but will risk his life to keep Susan safe beyond the call of duty as he has fallen in love with her. THE HUNT is a solid police procedural romance that will keep the audience on the edge of the seat as Susan finds avoiding her responsibility fails to protect her. The "Assassin" is an intriguing protagonist as he is a cold-blooded killing machine treating murder like a day at the office. Though the FBI acts like the stereotype of the old image and not the "improved" model as related to Congress, Christie Rose's tale is a fine novel that will spur readers to desire more romantic suspense novels from this budding star.
